There was way too much end float in the distributor shaft to simply shim, so I've pulled it apart and found this
It apears to me that the thrust washer that sits between the top of the bush boss and underside of the counterweight carrier plate has disintegrated, leaving the two parts to chew away at each other due to the downward thrust on the shaft caused by the helical gears driving it.
The question in my mind is, can the shaft assembly be salvaged by simply replacing the thrust washer with one or better two of suitable thickness, or will it just chop out again.
A breakdown diagram would be very helpful at this point.
